Good and evil

I went to get a blood test yesterday (my arm is so sore) and the lady was surprisingly nice. We were joking around and secretly laughing at the person sitting across from me that was having a freak out session as she was getting her blood drawn from another nurse. She thanked me for being unusually calm.

I had to renew my certification, so I went to the registration office. The administrator there was not only rude, but irascible as well. Every time I asked a question she scoffed at me as if I should know the answer. Lady, it's your JOB to know the answer. Is it my fault that you are working behind a desk dealing with paper work as a job? No. Did I talk to you in a condescending manner? No. I did nothing to insinuate this behavior, yet this is what I get. Don't you hate it when people talk to you like you're an idiot? Someone needs to fire her and put someone less grumpy in that position. Forget about stick up her butt--it was more like the whole coniferous forrest.

Regardless, I felt accomplished yesterday. I went through the hospital in order to get to patient care to get our blood samples (limited funding=I have to be a lab rat) and some nurse stops me and asks, "Hey, which wing are you in charge of? Are you working night shift?" What? I look like a nurse? Awesome. Nurses work so hard, I have so much respect for them. Then I continued walking and some lady stops me, "Are you the new resident? They're waiting for you inside." Do I look like a resident? I'm glad that she would think so. I'm happy. I guess I don't look like I'm 16 years old anymore. Hooray!
